For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
